Hi,

If you don't know, Dev In a Box is "everything you need to contribute to Python in under 700 MB".  I've patched it up to the latest standards of colorless console user interfaces and uploaded a video of the process for you to enjoy.

This tool can be greatly improved to provide entrypoint for other healthy activities. Like improving docs by editing, comparing, building and sending patches for review. Specialized menus can greatly help with automating common tasks, which are not limited by sources fetching.
